The new PLoS Search API gives developers access to rich data that can be flexibly integrated into applications for the web, desktop or mobile devices. It allows PLoS content to be queried using any of the fields in the PLoS Search engine. By opening the PLoS content and data through this API, we hope to encourage the development of tools that will improve the way PLoS users discover and interact with our (and their) content.

“We’re pleased to be able to allow developers to leverage PLoS content and data to improve their own web offerings” — Richard Cave, IT Director at PLoS, on the availability of the PLoS Search API
